Happy Sunday my Friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoying the beautiful clouds! Make sure you look up into the sky at the moon tonight...tomorrow is a full moon and tonight she will be bright!
This morning was what I like to call a "Forest Gump" morning. After I stepped into the morning and started to prepare for my daily Nia practice, I stepped outside, gazed down at Rocket and said "lets go run!!". Now, mind you, I do not have a running practice, yet I am a runner. Just as I believe we are all dancers, I believe we are all runners. Our body is designed to run and it was a mode of transportation of our early ancestors. (HA!) During my run I celebrated my practice of Nia of 19 years and the ability Nia has given my body to run with grace and ease, even when it has been several months since the last time I ran. And guess what? It's Nia's 30th birthday this week!!! Yes 30 years ago today, Debbie and Carlos Rosas, the co-founders of Nia, took off their shoes and Nia was born. Boy am I glad Nia was born...she has transformed my life! This week in honor of Nia's birthday I will be teaching various routines/songs from Nia routines. You know I have about 60-70 Nia routines. What to choose? It will be fun!
